Traditional MS Tuition

Traditional Master's Tuition and Fees

We know that program cost is a crucial consideration and have estimates to share with you. Please be aware that, while the included figures are based on the most accurate information available, they are estimates only and are subject to change at any time. These estimates may not apply to individual students with unique educational paths. Our goal is to provide a snapshot of what you may be able to expect. 

Exact amounts of current tuition and fees can be found in detail on Ohio State’s University Registrar website. You will pay tuition and fees each semester you are enrolled in the program, based on:

• The number of credit hours you are completing
• Whether you are enrolled as a part-time or full-time student
• Your chosen specialty
• Distance learning or on-campus enrollment for a given semester

A graduate student is charged the full-time rate if they are enrolled in eight (8) credit hours or more per term. The figures below are based on full time, on-campus enrollment for a single semester, however, the cost of enrollment for one (1) to seven (7) credit hours would be prorated based on the hours of enrollment.
